Sabbath School Today, Volume 9 - Paul E. Penno

His righteousness. It is a message that is not being preached by any other
entity on earth. That being the fact, we should ask ourselves: If this is God's
focus; if the message that God entrusted to A. T. Jones and E. J. Waggoner
in 1888 is the message that will prepare a people to receive the outpouring
of the latter rain, to fit a people to be God's final ambassadors to the world;
if it is the message that will bring an end to Christ's ministry in heaven so
that He can come as "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS" (Rev.
19:16), then what business do we have employing our energies with any
other message? [6]

White statement in Selected Messages, book 1, p. 204: "The enemy
of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great
reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and
that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which
stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of
reorganization. ... The fundamental principles that have sustained
the work ... would be accounted as error. A new organization would
be established. ... A system of intellectual philosophy would be
introduced."
